RCA Victor 26BP - a Gift from Buzz1151 - Part 1

Buzz from YouTube Channel Buzz1151 sent me a radio to restore. That was nice of him I thought... until I opened the box!
See if I can bring this back to anywhere near original condition, it looks impossible but I don't want to disappoint Buzz. RCA Victor 26BP

My Digital Signal Generator:
The Signal Generator is a project kit from a local electronics magazine called Silicon Chip, there is a sister publication in the UK called Practical Electronics, it was featured in the April 2018 edition but mine has a oscilloscope function as well which I don't use. There may be a later edition in PE with that feature.
